What is the number of electrons shared between the atoms in a molecule of nitrogen, N2
1 answer:
Answer:
3 electrons is contributed from each Nitrogen atom.
Total 6 electrons are shared in N₂.
Explanation:
- Nitrogen is belong to group VA
- it have 5 electron in its outer most Shell.
- it need 3 electrons complete its octet to become stable.
- Nitrogen have total 7 electrons.
- its atomic number is 7
The electronic configuration of Nitrogen is as:
1s², 2s², 2p³
it exist in diatomic form standard temperature and pressure.
Nitrogen form covalent bond and share 3 electron from each side.
total 6 electron are shared between 2 nitrogen atom.
For Covalent bonding it can share its 3 electrons.
The diagrammatic representation is in attachment.

Answer:
Molecular solids and covalent network solids are two types of solid compounds. The key difference between molecular solid and covalent network solid is that <em>molecular solid forms due to the action of Van der Waal forces </em>where as <em>covalent network solid forms due to the action of covalent chemical bonds.</em>
